He considered the tlatstion embraced in the Bill to be one of great national im portance, and to those - who understood anything about the i t :ge"lties which were experienced in the tracing of pedigrees advantage would be too manifest to need explanation. At !resent searches connected with the tracing of pedigrees "ere not only most expensive, but in the great majority of I t f i l i t t a,nees unsatisfactory ; and, for his part, he could not help dust as that a proper system of registering births would be as beneficial to the members of the Church of Eng land as to the Dissenters, or any other class of persons in the —l3l raunity. Although it was required by the Bill that the ~ante should be given at the time of birth, yet there was i v , t hing in the measure which would prevent the parties t i i °, ll l altering the name at the time of baptism. He did not t nic that the objections of either the Right Hon. Gentle-.

PEASE deemed such a registry as that proposed ab .tolutely necessary, and therefore the measure should have his ' ll Pport. Mr. BAINES denied that the Bill would impose any trou :Tv on th e h ea ds of families. The information might be taken Y a servant, and therefore the objection on that head ought t ° have no weight. Neither would the Bill operate so as to tli scourcge baptism. After a few observations from Mr. GOULBURN, The Committee then proceeded with the Bill. Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to. An objection having been raise r ,' to clause 3, its further consideration was postponed. Clauses 4 to 26 were then agreed to. Clau s e 27 was then proposed, which provides for the ex rnses of registration by imposing a certain charge on the Parish r a t e s. A discussion ensued, in which .

LE ITER FROM CONSTANTINOPLE TO MR. C. DURAND, EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL DE FRANKFORT. " PERA, MAY 8, 1836. " Sir,—The journals have entertained us for some years past, and continue to entertain us, with the projects of Russia against the Ottoman empire. They even assure us that the Emperor Nicholas bad thought of profiting by the victories gained over the Turks in 1828, to take and to keep Constantinople ; but that the menaces of some Am bassadors, addressed to Count D:ebitsch, have sufficed to stop the Russian army at Adrianople, and to oblige that General to make peace. " Accustomed as I have long been to place full confi dence - in the assertions of the journals, especially when the ambition of the Russians was the subject, I should perhaps have hesitated this time to believe them implicitly, if 1 had not round the,same assertions in various works, the authors of which being highly respectable men, could not be sus pected of having wished to mislead the public. " Thus we find, in the CmTespoudanec d'Orient of M. Michaud, letter 38, dated Pera, 25th of August, 1830, the following passage : " In the last war against the Russians, the Seraglio was still assembling armies, and was preparing to display the standard of the Prophet ; but in proportion as the Rus sians advanced towards the capital, the influence of Pera seemed to increase, and it was in consequence of the me naces of Pera that the Muscovites halted. The bill on which the wild.fig-tree formerly '' .rew, concluded peace, and left to the Seraglio nothing to do but to issue proclamations, and repress the Turks, who were indignant at.the treaty.' " This certainly was one of the noblest parts that ever Ambassadors had to perform, and a fact so honourable ought to have been confirmed in such a manner as to give it historical value. " I have therefore expected with much impatience that the Porllblio, which appears to have at its disposal a series of documents relative to the occurrences of the war in Tur key, would furnish us with one which would show in all its lustre this splendid episode of the diplomacy of • Vera. • But all my hopes have hitherto.beew disappointad, i and the dis closures of the Portfolio, which have •let' us into many se crets, have told us nothing on - a subject so interesting. t' The vexation which . 1 feel at this'silenee has suggested to pie the idea of endeavouring to Make up for it ; I there fore set to-work, and have Succeeded in procuring some definite notions, which I hasten .to communicate to you. It is for you to judge whether they are likely to gratify the curiosity of your readers: " When, in June, 1829, after the defeat of the Turkish army at Kouleftcha, the Russian General wrote to the Grand Visier, that, conformably with the orders of his So vereign, he was ready to treat for peace on the bases which Russia had proposed in its declaration on the 20th of April, 1828. The Turkish General took these proposals ad refc rendanz, and wrote to Constantinople, but the Divan did not think fit to listen to the overtures of the Russian Ge neral, and left them unanswered. " Two months later the Russian army passed the Bal kan, and occupied Bourgas and Aidos ; they began to think at Constantinople that it was time to show some concilia tory disposition, as the Porte then delivered to the Ambas sadors of England and France a memorandum, containing a summary of the terms on which it would consent to make peace. This memorandum was forwarded to the Russian General, with a letter, which the two Ambassadors ad dressed to him on the 17th of August, and which contain the following passage : «< We do not pretend to constitute ourselves judges of the contents of the memorandum of the Porte, but, con vinced as we are of the generosity of the Emperor, we refer to the entire confidence which the Porte now seems to place on that generosity, and we think that we have reason to hope that the remaining obstacles to the return of peace will be easily removed by the respective efforts of your Ex cellency and of Redschid Pasha, and that humanity will soon see an end to the effusion of blood.' " The conditions proposed by the Porte bore no trace of the change which had taken place in the situation of the two belligerent parties in consequence of the late event ; they were merely to negotiate on a footing of perfect equality, and to confirm the ancient treaties. " Unfortunately these proposals, and the letter of the two Ambassadors which accompanied them, found the Russian General already at Adrianople, which he had occu pied on the 20th of August. He answered on the 23d of the same month, and his letter, after referring to the over tures which he had before made in vain, and enumerating the successive advances of the Russian armies in Europe and Asia; proceeded in the following terms:— " It is after such great disasters that the Porte con sents to speak of peace ; but I do not imagine that it can believe itself to have either the right or the power to dic tate the terms. It depends on the magnanimous generosity of the Emperor Nicholas, and it will not be deceived in its expectation, provided it confidently relies on it. His Im perial Majesty, whose sentiments and inclinations are still the same, desires a solid peace, which shall bring with it a security for its duration. He will hold out the band of friendship to Sultan Mahmoud, re-establishing between the two empires a restoration of good neighbourhood and perfect harmony. Deeply impressed with these intentions of my august master, and conformably to the instructions with which I am furnished, I shall be ready on my part to enter into nego tiations with the Turkish Plenipotentiaries as soon as they shall appear at my advanced posts duly authorized.' " Before this answer reached Constantinople, news had already been received of the further successes of the Rus sian army, of the occupation of Adrianople, and the march of some corps on the road to Constantinople ; and the Divan, in its alarm, had hastily despatched plenipotentiaries to implore peace. " On their arrival at the head-quarters of Gieral Die bitsch, at Adrianople, the Ottoman negociators were made acquainted with the proposed treaty. They agreed to all the conditions, but requested a few days' delay, in order to have the express orders of the Sultan with respect to the articles of the pecuniary indemnities claimed by Russia. " Count Diebitsch granted the delay, declar►ng, however, that he should cot suspend the march of his army, and he in fact caused his vanguard to execute some movements. These measures, added to the news of the occupation of Enos and of Louie Bourgas, spread consternation at Con stantinople. which was threatened at the same time with an internal insurrection and foreign invasion. " (2.) At this alarming crisis the Ambassadors of France and England resolved to write to the Russian General the following lettar, which I give word for word:-- " Constantinople, Sept. 9, 1829. 1" Monsieur le Comte,—ln the present circumstances there it en imperative duty which we cannot dispense our selves from fulfilling ; it is to inform your Excellency of the infallible consequences which would ensue frOm the march of the Imperial armies against Constantinople. " ne Sublime Porte has formally declared to us, and we do nut hesitate /o cmifirm the truth qf its declaration, that in this case it would cease to exist, and that the most terrible alarehy, destroying ila power, will give up indis criminately, and without dclence, to the must unjiivourable chances the existence cf the Christian and Massubnan po pulation of the empire. By concealing from you this ttale of things we should have taken upea ourselves a responsibility to our Courts, ta his Imperial Majesty biipself, in a word to all Europe, which WO roust decline with all the energy of which we are capable. Wu now fulfil this duty, writing to you the present letter. Wu have henceforth only to adopt all those MAUS which may depend en us to endeavour to preserve, the Clitigtians of this capital from the imminent danger which now hails over them. " Nobody certainly will deny 1" We have the honour, ete, l that this step of the two Ambassadors and the preceding letter were dictated by very honourable sent;tt:ents, and by a very amiable soligitude for the interests of humanity i but it must be owned that this was not threatening language, eii.alted to stop the Rus sian army, tie to compel Count Diehitsch i,z CM)CIUde peace. O n the contrary, titiay we not believe that if the io4trile ,tions of the Emperor Nielic.ln.s had been to seize Constan tinople, aid overthrow the Ottottigi; power, the Russian General, after tbe-receipt of such a letter, would not have filed to take advantszo pf the circumstances which it pointed out to him, to strike anti hit blow at the Ottoman empire? " These, Sir, taio filets hitherto unknown, and whiah I gyp bapp) , in having discoveiaa, in order to do homage to the t r oth, E can guarantee to you 4h at nobody can call, in question tha perfect authenticity of the texts wiiio I have given you ( 3 ) , GA' aim certify that the origins docuttign4 which contain them ate tiopaitel in the archives of the aprefore leave it to those who reflect and judge legations at Pera . without u di, 47 to decide what degree of credit is due to publications, the consiaoi obif:ct of which is to ascril,e cat i p o r n e s j , 4ipbitious projects to Russia. lip for myself, I shall know in future w hat to think, and I shall be Ni -l• m y guard against all that the journals are hourly tellinc , us. •Tn concluding this letter, ): e4niftqt },sip, adding a re fleetion which must naturally occur to e v er ybody is it that th e Russian cabinet has not contradicted the as: , sgrtions of the journOsr fly Tiihlishing documents which but sec in it o p of might . proyo the truth WOPPt PrOefOißg .to piplain this e nigma, it seems that PaPtiot indifference, which the press, it must be eweed, has abused, still abuses, with the utmost effrontery, to tnislearl at insults and calumnies un the opinion, and t o 1 7 1 " 9 "' • policy of Russia. , • . . Thus several j ourna l s ar e at this ti:itsltent-endeavOiliti ins Ito represent the late arrangentimltOi r %V hich s the Polite from its debt to Russia, and'seCiires'io it the speedy restoration of Silistria, not as the result of the good will of the Emperor Nicholas, but as the fruit of the efforts of THE ITN. LaNDO'S, TUESDAY. 4 A3NE 7, 1836. England and France. • We who are on the spot know however, that this arrangement was practicable only be cause Russia generously consented to deduct, for the re mainderof the debt, the num of ninety millions of piastres, and it is through this reduction that the Sultan is enabled to exonerate himself entirely, without being obliged to any foreign power. It will be curious to see whether the Rus sian Cabinet shall resolve to publish anything on this occa sion. Should it still be silent, and should the journals con tinue to publish their lying assertions, I shall endeavour to procure and send to you some more documents which may dispel all doubts. " I have the honour &c. " H. F• " P.S. Just as I am going to close this letter, I received a pamphlet, which has come from Paris, and is called The Question y . the East, by Theodore Benazet. I have but time to run over it very hastily, and I find that the first chapter, page 9, begins with these words—' The Russians prosecute a fixed idea—the possession of Constantinople; and the conclusion (page 112) has the following - -' Russia che rishes the project of getting possession or Constantinople.' There is no longer any possibility of doubting it : many persons have affirmed it, M. Benazet repeats it, and how can we help believing it ? For my part, I have only one objection to make. The Russians, in 1829, had only three or four marches to make for the Sublime Porte to cease to exist (see the note of the Ambassadors), but they neglect to take advantage of this favourable occasion, when nothing hinders them, make peace at Adrianople, and retire. "In 1833, a Russian army and fleet occupy the Bos phorus. This aid saves the Sultan from being precipitated from his throne by the Pasha of Egypt. The Russians, who might have found a thousand pretexts for.augmenting their army of occupation, and remaining at Constantinople, from which M. Benazt would certainly not have found it easy to dislodge them, do no such thing, and again retire, as they had done before. " This is certainly a strange manner of prosecuting a fixed idea—the possession of Constantinople ; for we see that Russia had two excellent opportunities to take and keep Constantinople, and it refrained from doing so. But you will say Russia is maladroit, unskilful.' M. Benazet shall answer -for.me :—"Fhe Russian Government is very enlightened, of which it gives but . too many,. proofs?- 7 - (Pages 79, 80.) The Russian Cabinet possesses consum mate ability._ It has but one sole object, which it endea vours to attain be-all possible means.'—(Page 92) M. Benazet has forgotten to add to . his pamphlet some documents in support of his assertions. Pray advise him in a second edition to giva the document which I now send you. It will do wonders I assure you, and stop the mouths of many incredulous persons. It would not be amiss if he would add some other document to prove the following as sertion, which I find at page 12 of his pamphlet : Persia, Turkey, Greece, and eVen Italy, are deluged with Russian agents, labouring with all their power at their national object. At Rome itself—(this fact is not even suspected at Paris)—the Russian copec is already a cur rent coin.' 66 Be so (rood, Sir, as to inform your friends at Rome of this curious fact, which they probably no more suspect than the inhabitants of Paris. If you happen to know 13. Benazet, pray tell me whe ther be is a Gascon ?"—Journal de FraideArt, May 30. KING'S BENCH-MONDAY. THE KING V. THE MARQUIS OF DOWNSHIRE. Lord DENMAN, in the course of the day, delivered judg ment in this case. On the trial of this indictment, in the spring of 1834, the defendant's Counsel, after hearing the prosecutor's evidence, expressly admitted that every one of the seven roads, the subject of the indictment., had been a public road ; but contended that each of them had ceased to be a public road, by virtue of orders of magistrates exer cising powers created by several Acts of Parliament, the General Inclosure Act, and others, or by the award of com missioners acting under those statutes. The case was ar gued before the Court at great length, and, after anxious consideration, we felt ourselves bound to decide that no one of these roads had been properly stopped up, or had ceased to be a public road, and it therefore followed that we were bound to direct a verdict to be entered for the Crown. In Hilary Term last an application was made to the Court to excuse the personal attendance of the Noble defendant to receive the judgment of the Court, his attorney undertak ing to pay any fine that might be imposed upon him. The application was granted. During the present term the pro secutor prayed for the judgment of the Court upon the Noble defendant. We shall respite our judgment till Michaelmas Term.—Judgment respited accordingly. BAIL COURT-MONDAY. THE KING V. THE SATIRIST NEWSPAPER. Mr. WIGHTMAN moved for a rule to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against John Pritchard Eve and Sophia Gregory Parlby, for a libel upon Mr. Simon King in the Satirist of the 25th of May. The libel in question described this gentleman as being skilful in palming at the game of ecarte at Epsom Races, whereas he denied in his affidavit that he had been at the Races since 1829—that he had lived at Brighton till 18f_13, and since resided at Dawlish, in Devonshire. Ho had received da mages in an action for libel against the Satirist in 1832, at which time he resided at Brighton. The Court 'granted a rule nisi. EXCHEQUER COURT.-MONDAY. DOE ON THE DEMISE OF THE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD V. HUNT. This was an action of ejectment, which was tried at the last assizes for the county of Suffolk, when a verdict passed for the plaintiff's lessor. The farm, to recover the pos session of which the ejectment had been brought, had been held by the defendant under a lease from the Marquis of Hertfind at the rent of 5201. a year. This lease having expired, it was agreed that the defendant should hold the farm at the old rent for one year certain, to expire at Michaelmas, 1834, unless Lord Hertford would consent to reduce the rent to 4001. A notice to quit had been served to determine the tenancy at Michaelmas, 1834. In au• swer to the application of the defendant to reduce the rent, Mr. Wickers, the Marquis's agent, wrote to say that the Marquis would not consent to Mr. Hunt's keeping the farm at the rent offered, unless in the event of his not being able to get a tenant for it before the Ist of August, who would give the sum which Mr. Wickers should think it worth. Upon the construction of this letter the whole question turned. The Marquis of Hertford brought an ejectment, and obtained a verdict. Mr. Sergeant STORKS, upon the part of the defendant, last Term obtained a rule nisi to set aside the verdict and enter a nonsuit. • Mr. KELLY this day showed. cause 43 . 4 inst the Rule discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday an elderly man, who said that his name was !Vllham Hale. and who looked very like a farmer, was brought before Alderman PIItIE, charged by an undertaker nam ed George Thomas, who pounced upon him in the street, with having, under pretence of being entitled to im7 mense possession, obtained the amOtint of 4 aood.for,nethng bill of exchange.

Ater chatting away on other matters, the old lady said :he 1: al another project equally practicable, for 19wering the price of fish. Grand Duke of Florence, while she was in that city, finding that the fishermen would not lower their exorbitant prices, ordered that the fish-market should he open only so lung as the fishermen in winter could stand with one leg in a pail of cold water, and in - summer with both in scalding hot. Now the fishermen, rather than have their legs frozen in winter, and boiled in summer, sold their fish as rapidly as possible, and at reasonable prices. Now, were a plan of this sort adopted at Billingsgate, it •voul.l have, she %vas convinced, a surprising effect on the price of mackerel. Mr. Dyra having observed that he was of opinion all projects for the public good deserved encoaragement, the old lady made a profound curtsey, and left the office.

On Saturday, a strange-looking being, with a long bei rd, who was attired in a white bat, white trowsers, white waist- Coat, white shirt, cravat and stockings, but having no coat, was brought before Mr.. RoCEns. Richards,. a policeman, soon after twelVe - o'clock on the previous night, was rather startled as he was passing St. James's Church, Clerkenwell, at hearing a low moaning, aad at the same instant, beholding a figure, all in white, making strange sorts of gestures, and occasionally prostrat ing itself upon the flags under the porch of the Church. Having clambered over the railing, which is eight feet high, witness walked up to the object of his surprise, and found it to be the prisoner. When witness required him to ex plain who be was, and what brought him there, he said that he was the true Shiloh, and was worshipping God. Wit ness informed him that St. Mark's Church, Pentonville, had recently been robbed in the night-time, by parties who be suspected,.had as much claim to be " Shiloh " as he had ; and led him to the station-house. Mr. ROGERS (to the pri3oner)—Where do you live ? Dolendant (lifting up his eyes)—l. have no home but in Heaven. Mr. no - oEns—What is your name ? Defendant—l am Shiloh. Mr. RouElls—How dare you stand there and tell such a lie ? Defendant (solemnly)--I should say falsely if I said I was my one else. Inspector Penny here stated that the defendant had that morning informed him that he had arrived from New South Wales within the last ten days, England, as he said, being nearer heaven, whither, he said, he was making his way. He did not tell witness what course he now intended to take to net to his journey's end. Mr. Roctits—Then I'll see if the House of Correction discipline will bring him to his senses. (To the prisoner) I shall send you to the tread-mill for three weeks. The prisoner turned up the whites of his eyes, and on hearing Waddington, the gaoler say, " Here, come this way," he turned round, saying., " Thy will be done!" and walked to the lock-up house as "a lamb to the slaughter."

There are now upwards of 5,000 tons of shipping in the Llanelly Railway and Dock Company's Dock,. all V, which are to be loaded with Lla.ngennech coals. There ir..o three vessels of 400 tons register and upwards, for Boratriy ; the remainder are for Fernando Po, Johanna, and various other places on the coast of Africa, tip the Mediterranean, &c. Most of the coal is for the steamers belonging to the East India Company.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. A MUSICAL APPLICATION OF A B.JNDLE OF STICKS. —Every one, we presume, is acquainted with the little: instrument called "the harmonica," the tone of which is produced by pianoforte hammers striking upon ,lips of glass. A Monsieur Sankson performs in like manner with two small sticks, of the length and dimension of a lead pencil, striking upon a number of simple pieces of dcP l ,, and elicits from them a tone almost as brilliant as the well-known musical snutT-box. The pieces consist of three octaves connected together by a string, and laid upon a table, elevated upon small bundles of straw. The invention is by no means a novel one ; for mutt years ago, in the first exhibition of curiosities at the Egy,i tion-hall in Piccadilly, we remember seeing an imperfect 'in strument of the same eoustruction, which was brought Isom one of the South-Sea i , dands, and under each key was sus pended a eoeol-nut shell to act as a sounding-board. If, however, there be not any novelty in the invention, M. Sank ton will a stc no common surprise in the listener to Fts per formatie'.:; for he plays several airs (waltzes and Polonaises) with ;Astonishing rapidity and brilliancy of execution. We understand that he will sh or tly exhibit y his talents before the, public.—Musical World. REMARKABLE INSTANCES OF FosTERI KINDNESS IN DUMB ANIMALS.—ME. John Britten, of Tirix worth, Northamptonshire, has at this moment a small black Scotch cow, which constarztl'i and effectually suckles. three cade lambs with as much 'er.re and affection as Cr they wr re her own oinpring, and is (~.lowed about by the lambs with us muck regard as if she the same 'awl been their natural dam. The, vicar of had a ewe died a short time after weaning a couple of iambs ; but, notwithstanding the loss of tlia mother, the 'iambs seemed to thrive upon grass in company with the rest or the flock. On watching them more closely, however, it was discovered that all the ewes permitted the little orphans to come and suck them in succession, although some of them had two lambs a piece of their own to supply. What lessors of kindness and benevolence may we derive from observing the actions of the brute creation !—The Agriculturist. A highly interesting account has lately been given to the Geological Society, by Mr. Murchison, of the dis covery of fossil fish in the new red sandstorm of Tyreee, iu Ireland, being the first discovery of such relar.ins in that par ticular stratum, though they were known 're exist in others or the group to which it belongs. The part of the formation in question surrounds arid includes a small c•Jal-field, but reposes for the greater part upon mountain limestone. The sandstone consists of many distinct beds, which have evidently been de posited at different and widely separated periods of time, since. some of the lower exhibit on the upper surface the marks of the rippling action of the water, and must, therefore, have long presented an exposed surface to a calm scr... It in the lowest beds, 25 or 35 feet below the surface, that the fishes are found. About five o'clock on Saturday afternoon as the Greenwich Railway train was returning to town from Deptford they bad proceeded only a very short distance hcforc a steam-. pipe burst, and all the passengers (a large portion of whom had been to Greenwich to eat white bait) had •to wal to London Bridge before they could obtain any assistance, as the omnibuses at the end of the station wQre taken to convey pas sengers by the turnpike road to Deptford. The railway was. very dusty, and the unfortunate pedestrians bad a hot walk, to their great annoyance.
